An update, yes you all do deserve an update. For my part, I got really fatigued in late September last year (2021) and then had a heart attack on 12/31/2021. I am working my way back from that. The fanzine will get done eventually, but I have no timetable. I am not yet up to writing/finishing my part of it.
As for all of the other authors, perhaps they will see this and chime in. Anyone who wants to help or wants to post links to public domain art and other things of that nature any help will be appreciated. Layout and editing help would also be appreciated once it gets to that stage.
Sorry that I cannot give you any imminent publication date.

I mentioned this is another thread, but I will repeat it here as well. I am still developing all of my article ideas. Unfortunately, the summer months are extremely hectic in the school bus manufacturing industry, so I've been busy. As summer break is now winding down, work should ease up and allow me to devote more time to working on these various articles.
I cannot accurately predict a publication date at this time BUT I would like to see it in the next few months. I know there are goals and plans behind the scenes, but I wouldn't mind seeing a premiere issue put out ASAP. A debut issue basically serves as a showcase of possibilities and teasers for things to come. If this was my idea, I would get with the contributors and see what could be considered ready to go. If there was enough for 3 or 4 articles, some monsters, a few magic items, scenario ideas, and some similar articles to get the page count up to 24 to 32 pages - enough for a sampler type issue - then I would move forward with gathering art and getting everything formatted and ready. That's just me.

Cool, it is still a go and a shorter first issue would not be a bad idea either.

That all good news and really, really looking forward to reading Issue #1. Suggestion for the cover of issue one, at the bottom, "Presented by Halenar Frosthelm" where the name is his signature.

I've been looking through this again and propose this OMG Magazine - Original Murkhill Gaming Magazine
Open Ended Original Edition Fantasy Adventure Role Playing Games Slap that acronym on stuff and blog about it and it will 100% lead to one place.This has to appear someplace on the fanzine and on anything PD publishes. |

OEOEFARPG Slap that acronym on stuff and blog about it and it will 100% lead to one place. This has to appear someplace on the fanzine and on anything PD publishes. I'd rearrange this and based on what I have read here add to it. How do you define Original Murkhill Gaming you might ask? This way - Original Edition Open Ended Sandbox Fantasy Adventure Role Playing Games or OEOESFARPG Edit: I just saw this was already done in this thread ruinsofmurkhill.proboards.com/thread/3996/biggest-hindrance-osr by The Dreamer in this post ruinsofmurkhill.proboards.com/post/58042 |

Anyone from the forum here that publishes anything that fits this acronym OEOESFARPG, should slap it all over what they do. Once you get a bunch of stuff out there, it will be an identifier that will a sure thing for old schoolness, but remember to slap that TM on it. |

That is a great acronym and I want to add my encouragement to slap that all over your blog Dreamer and that really needs to be on the fanzine. OEOESFARPG™ and Original Edition Open Ended Sandbox Fantasy Adventure Role Playing Games™ and Original Murkhill Gaming™. OSR has no definition or standard. You need to establish that OEOESFARPG™ (etc) has a specific definition and standard. Post it everywhere you hang out and establish that it is yours and people need permission to use it. |
